Corporate Participation

Each June, CAUBO’s Annual Conference is co-hosted with member institutions and brings together senior university administrators from across Canada for the Association’s premier professional development event.

The CAUBO Conference attracts over 700 delegates, including vice-presidents and directors working in a variety of functional areas such as financial services, human resources, investment management, internal audit, facilities management, procurement, and risk management, as well as representatives from the corporate sector.

Over two-days, delegates experience thought-provoking sessions, ample networking opportunities, a trade show with over 60 booths, and social events featuring local culture.

How can your organization benefit?
Each year the conference attracts over 70 sponsors and exhibitors. These organizations offer a variety of products and services that help CAUBO’s members meet their institutional responsibilities. Participation is mutually beneficial; sponsors come to meet university managers and managers look forward each year to learning about new products and services.

When you participate in the annual trade show, you will meet potential higher education customers face-to-face as you demonstrate your products and discuss your services. We invite you to be there to showcase your products and services to this key marketplace. There is really no other such opportunity at the national level in Canada.

In addition to the main conference, CAUBO also hosts a number of pre-conference seminars for administrators working in specific functional areas. There are sponsorship opportunities available for each seminar; this is an excellent way to reach a targeted group of decision-makers.

Distributed quarterly, University Manager is CAUBO’s magazine distributed to over 4,000. Our members gain insights on topics and trends of interest covering topics relevant to those in the fields of finance, procurement, human resources, risk management, facilities management, treasury and investment, taxes, and more.
